We all know someone who needs this...

To say that I’m excited about this camp would be the understatement of the year!  This year, I'm looking for a dozen young people from across Montgomery County who want to take on this challenge: an introduction to real, hard, budo karate training. To help answer your questions, and plan ahead, I’ve broken down some considerations by category below:
 
Schedule:
We will train from 8a-5p each day.  There will be three slots each day dedicated to Kyokushin karate training in the dojo.  Additionally, we will have a 45-minute session set aside for reading and reflection (and recovery).  I will have several books to choose from; karate related and other material good for character development.
 
Uniforms:
The Uchi Deshi Camp includes a “PT” uniform; consisting of shorts and two t-shirts.  Those wishing to purchase a dogi (karate uniform) are more than welcome to do so. We will be staying in one of the two uniforms all day!
 
Other Considerations:
One aspect of this camp that I’m particularly excited about is that we will be completely “unplugged”.  Checking e-mail, text messages, Facebook, Instagram, etc. will have to be done outside of our 8a-5p window.  This is going to require some planning on your part to make sure you communicate clearly with your friends and family.  In case of an emergency, you should encourage your family to call the dojo phone (240-899-3517). 
 
In the spirit of Budo karate, we will also be pursuing some service projects during the week.  I’m still working on wrapping up the final details for those projects, and will let you know our partners as soon as those details are nailed down.  Remember, we train to make our minds, bodies, and spirits stronger; not just for us, but so that we can be a blessing in our communities!
 
Lunch and snacks will be provided each day.  There will be a “lounge” set up with items to enjoy during rest/recovery and break times.  This space will also house a lot of the reading material for the reading and reflection times each day.

As always...send me any questions you have!
 
Looking forward to a great time training with you all!
 
OSU!
